Ceramic reconstruction step by step
- The defective filling and decay is removed. A reflective powder layer prepares the tooth for imaging.
- An optical 3D image is acquired with a small camera, directly in your mouth.
- The restoration is created on the screen using the image data.
- Diamond coated instruments mill a ceramic block to reproduce the design.
- This is accomplished during a single appointment using Computer Aided Design/ Computer Aided Manufacture (CAD/ CAM).
- After polishing, the new restoration fits precisely.
- A unique light hardness the bonding material, uniting porcelain and tooth.
- Polishing or glazing ensures a pleasantly smooth and natural feel.
- The colour and appearance make the special ceramic material blend with your tooth.
- Perfectly bonded porcelain ensures an extremely long life for your teeth.
- Maximum strength, great looks!
Fillings (inlays/ onlays)
- After decay and old filling material is removed…
- The individually manufactured ceramic will be fitted exactly.
- Depending on severity, the whole procedure will last between one and two hours.
Crowns
For more heavily compromised teeth, a traditional treatment has been a crown restoration, which can take several separate appointments. Using the CEREC method, crown restoration is completed in a single appointment. No impressions, no temporary crowns – no need for a second injection.
A treatment time of one to two hours is normal.
Veneers
Malpositioned and discoloured teeth can be restored with porcelain veneers.
Your tooth is adjusted and a thin layer of porcelain is bonded securely to your tooth.
Perfect looks, perfect fit make a wonderful, natural smile – all in a single appointment.
